Concepts such as "power-elites" and "true left" as used here for example:
"To paraphrase Chomsky, it is actually within the power-elites interest to have a media establishment recognized as left leaning. This insulates them from criticism from the true left."
are so loaded as to be moot.
Who exactly are the power-elites? What exactly is the true left?
Terms like these load the discussion to the degree that all those who do not operate with doctrinaire definitions of such concepts are left scratching their heads. When it comes time to arrive at conclusions about arguments that invoke such ideas, only the already-convinced are convinced.
